The best white peripherals

[Enderman]

So I spent $400 on new peripherals for my new white setup, and wanted to share some pics here

 

I had limited space on my DIY keyboard tray, and I never used any of the macros or number pad on my K95 RGB, so I decided to get a TKL keyboard that was white.

Ducky is one of the best keyboard brands, and they make a white TKL keyboard. Unfortunately it either comes with RGB or no LED, there is no pure white LED option so I had to go with RGB. Also added 0.4mm blue (soft) o-rings to the MX-red switches.

I also replaced my MX Master with an MX Master 2s that comes in "light gray" which is basically white.

 

 

 

 

Interestingly enough, the white shell of the keyboard perfectly matches the white shell of the mouse, and the "super light gray" of the keycaps matches the "super light gray" on the surface of the mouse!

It's like these two peripherals were made for eachother!

 

Even though the light gray is almost white, it still shows up pretty gray on the camera.

The brighter the ambient light is, the whiter they look.

It's basically just two different shades of white IMO, I wouldn't really call it gray.

 

I also used white anker micro USB cables for both, and the 'white' cable is also the same shade of 'super light gray' as the mouse and keyboard keys.

 

 

 

Overall, an excellent pair of peripherals, great quality for both.

I highly recommend these to anyone looking for white peripherals for a white setup.

 

PS - Pics of my new fully-white setup are coming soon!

I usually hate white peripherals, but that with the grey key caps is actually quite nice. I wouldn't use them, but I can see the allure. It's crazy how perfectly they match! The keyboard is also extremely understated, looks like some IBM keyboard I would have used a couple decades ago.

 

I love the MX Master for most uses, hate it for gaming. They make a white Level10 M IMO one of the nicest mice, but I light weightier mice with an amazing build quality over something light and "quick".

They actually have stayed perfectly clean the past few weeks, maybe I'm just really good at keeping my hands clean

I went with white because I wanted them to blend in as much as possible into the rest of the furniture, and it does the job very well.

 

I don't mind gaming on the MX master, I'm not a pro competitive player at all so it works for me.

For stuff like coding or cad or video editing it is just amazing.

 

And yeah, the keyboard is super minimalist compared to my K95 lol

I have noticed the ducky keys wobble a bit less though, idk why that is since they're both MX red RGB switches.

Maybe it's just cause it's new.

well if you can't find it, you paint it

I saw my friend painted a black ducky keyboard with white plastidip and it was getting scratched off in some placed, so I decided to just get the white version in the first place.

I needed to replace the K95 keyboard anyway since it didn't fit

But yeah, painting is a good budget option.

As you can tell, I don't usually go for budget options though.

Nice, looks really clean. With white peripherals your selection is usually pretty limited but you made it work. The only thing I don't like about it - as someone who can't stand keyboard trays in general - is that there's not a lot of space to move the mouse. Can you not set the RGB LEDs on the Ducky to a solid color so that they would be white?

Looking forward to seeing the whole setup!

Yeah that's why I needed a TKL keyboard, to get a bit more space.

I use a pretty high DPI with acceleration so my mouse movements are not very large.

Back when I was using a huge desk I found that I didn't really need much space for my mouse.

 

I set the backlight to 'white', however RGB white always looks worse than pure white because of the way the colours mix.

Pure white LEDs look way better.

It's alright though, most of the time the backlight is off, I only need it at night
